Did you READ what Mark said?
I think you're confusing Add/Remove Programs with Add/Remove Windows
Components (which appears in Add/Remove Programs) - two different things.
Sure, they don't appear in my Add/Remove Programs either, but he distinctly
said -
"On the left select Add/Remove Windows COMPONENTS."
That's in the L/H column !!
You'll find most of them there, such as MSN, WMP & so on.
